Trading History - Copy trading - Netflix

Copy trading enables traders in the financial markets to automatically
copy positions opened and managed by a selected investor, usually in the
context of a social trading network. Unlike mirror trading, a method
that allows traders to copy specific strategies, copy trading links a
portion of the copying trader's funds to the account of the copied
investor. Any trading action made thenceforth by the copied investor,
such as opening a position, assigning Stop Loss and Take Profit orders,
or closing a position, are also executed in the copying trader's account
according to the proportion between the copied investor's account and
the copying trader's allotted copy trading funds. The copying trader
usually retains the ability to disconnect copied trades and manage them
themselves. They can also close the copy relationship altogether. Copied
investors are often compensated by flat monthly subscription fees on the
part of a trader seeking to copy their trades. Copy trading has led to
the development of a new type of investment portfolio, which some
industry insiders call “People-Based Portfolios” or “Signal Portfolios”
(borrowing the terminology of the popular MetaQuotes Signal
Marketplace). People-based portfolios differ from traditional investment
portfolios in that the investment funds are invested in other investors,
rather than traditional market-based instruments.

Trading History - Compared to Social Trading - Netflix

Various financial trading operators offer copy trading capabilities as
part of a larger social trading platform. Social trading usually
includes the ability to connect with other investors using the platform
in social ways (comments, likes, link sharing etc.) as well as find
potential copy trading candidates by viewing investors' performance
statistics. Some platforms also provide ways to sort and rank traders
according to certain performance parameters, thus making it easier for
traders to find potential investors to copy. Typically, trading
histories of available traders to copy are available along with detailed
performance and risk metrics.
